Based on the novel Winterkill by William Judson Cold River is the story of an Adirondack guide who takes his young daughter and step-son on a long camping trip in the fall of 1932. When winter strikes unexpectedly early (a natural phenomenon known as a 'winterkill' - so named because the animals are totally unprepared for a sudden early winter and many freeze or starve to death) a disastrous turn of events leaves the two children to find their own way home without food or protection from the elements.
